    I do not quilt....I have squares here from like 15 years ago when I thought I could be Laura Ingalls Wilder........I am not.LOL soooooooo for me crocheting is twice as fast as knitting, but knitting is very fast for me also. I adore sewing as my grandmother was a seamstress so we all learned at a very young age and I love the freedom in clothing it gives me.Along with new curtains, bedspreads, table cloths slipcovers etc.

    I LOVE to sew. I wouldn't say that I'm fantastic at it, but I have made some pretty nice things. My current project is to make bugs for the walls in Leslie's (AdoreMyDogs) daughter's nursery!
    When I'm gone with those I plan on starting to build up an inventory of supplies and make/sell custom teddy bears... I don't know if that will ever get off of the ground but it is an idea

    Tyler's baby blanket... with the amount of work that I put into this I don't plan on giving it to him until he is WAY past the baby stage

    Blanket I made from a kit- SO easy!

    Curtains that I still need to hang up

    Blanket that I made for my husband when he lived in Japan alone:

    I'm a quilter. I quilt whenever I have spare time. I have always been a craft person. I've done everything from A-Z over the years.

    Missy: Those blankets look like what my Grandmother used to do. At that time, she called it weaving on Monk's cloth. Is that the same? I still have some of her work. It was fantastic. Your work is beautiful too.

    Does double knotting my son's shoes count?

    I would love to learn to knit or crochet, as it seems both these activites can be done quietly, in front of a TV, and while talking to others. I cannot stand simply sitting on the couch watching TV!

    I do have a lovely sewing machine- I have used it for making cat toys. Exclusively. LOL.

    LOL yes! it counts.

    There is a really great book out there called teach yourself to knit in a day, I will find it on Joannes site, super easy I am told and very easy to follow!
    I learned the hard way! by watching my great aunts needles fly, one took pity on me and taught me how when i was around 12. learned to crochet in the Girl Scouts

    I knit and weave (yes with a loom). I couldn't crochet if my life depended on it. I have been kniting for over 20 years so I am pretty good at it, but everytime I try and learn to crochet I promptly forget everything. It is like my mind is a giant sieve and crocheting is water that runs right through it

    I can Sew, but that is it! I would love to learn how to Knit or Crochet, but sewing is all I know how to do. I do sew very well.

    I used to cross-stitch, but I haven't in a long time. And, I know how to knit!

    I knit, cross stitch, embroider and sew. As a matter of fact I'm going to the Stitches convention this weekend in Santa Clara, CA. It's a trade show for knitters/crocheter's. It's my first one and looks to be fun!

    I do some quilting here and there....I have also made dolls and embroidered, and knitted...I pretty much like anything to do with the needle...here are a few of the things I have done....

    I was making this for my ex-boyfriend (he loved spider man), but now I think once I am done with it I will make a small one that is similiar only a square for myself and then sell this one....its warm and nice though....I just dont think I am much of a spidey girl...lol.

    (all those pins...my hands were raw and bleeding by the time I was done...soooooo painful)




    It's hard to see on the top layer, but I am hand quilting the webs into this one...it takes a huuuuge amount of time, but it looks awsome...this is the first quilt I have ever worked on




    This is something I have made the pieces for but have not yet put together...I figure when I am out of school I might have a little more time It's prolly going to be going to a friend of mine's kids

    I sort of dabble in sewing, crocheting and machine quilting. I enjoy doing simple and quick projects!
